Asparagus Cooked in Two Ways

I think it's Asparagus Season here as it's on sales right and left at the grocery stores. So, I grabbed some. I always bought vegetable and fruit that were on sales for that week. And each week I would have something different. I prepared some marinated chicken breast slices, some carrots and chopped garlic and I was ready to cook dinner.

Cooked in spicy black bean sauce. This is for the parents of course.

Cooked in oyster sauce and added an egg. This is for the kids. Didn't plan to add an egg but I added too much oil, so why not? And it turned out so delicious and went so well with everything. So, sharing the recipe here with you.

Asparagus season is late-April to mid-June in Europe. But I've been seeing more recently as well. I like to cook them in a stir fry too. Adding that egg sounds delicious. I like to cook mine like with french beans - stir fry with garlic, silver fish, and thin slices of carrot. It's sweet from the carrots and salty from the silverfish. Suitable for kids too.
